BACK HOME

I’ve slept where the cold wind cuts through my clothes,

Had nowhere to go, nowhere to call home.

Counting every dollar, just trying to survive,

Never knew what it meant to feel alive.

Then you came along, girl, you changed my view,

Gave me something worth fighting for, something true.

Then came our babies, my whole world changed,

Frejay and Oakland put my heart in a cage.

But sometimes love gets lost in the weight of the fight,

And two broken people can’t always make it right.

So I had to walk away, though it tore me apart,

With my kids in my mind and you deep in my heart.

I’m working my ass off, I’m fighting these days,

Trying to build us a home from the ashes I made.

I’m chasing stability, chasing a life,

Where my babies wake up and their daddy’s inside.

I don’t want riches, I don’t need a crown,

I just want my family when the sun goes down.

I’ll crawl through the dirt, I’ll carry this load,

‘Cause everything I’m doing is to bring us back home.

I miss the little things, their voices, their smiles,

Miss holding my babies, even just for a while.

And I miss my woman, more than words can say,

But I’m turning this pain into fuel every day.

I’ve been at the bottom, I know what it’s like,

Now I’m working through the darkness, trying to get it right.

One paycheck, one long night, one step at a time,

Building four walls where our future can shine.

I can’t change yesterday,

Can’t erase every scar,

But I can change tomorrow

By becoming who we are.

So if you’re still waiting,

Just know I’m not done—

I’m fighting for our family,

I’m fighting for my sons and daughters,

I’m fighting for the one I love.

I’m working my ass off, I’m fighting these days,

Trying to build us a home where our family can stay.

A steady front door, a bed for the kids,

A love that’s stronger than everything we did.

I started with nothing, I know where I’ve been,

But I’m not gonna stay down, I’m getting back up again.

I’ll give everything I’ve got, no matter the road,

‘Cause I’m coming for my family—
